About
The magic of printmaking and life casting is that you capture a moment in time and these precious keepsakes needn't cost the earth...
Hands Down Baby Prints is an artist led, small creative studio practice, offering beautiful, bespoke; life casting & original print silver jewellery since 2001. We offer a large range of finishes & framing options in Bristol, Bath & Somerset at local venues and permanently based at The Old Stores Studio in Somerset. As this is artist led set up and not part of a franchise or large company, it is therefore possible to consistently provide a bespoke, quality, affordable service and product.
Safe and natural materials are sourced as locally as possible and working from an artist studio, costs and carbon footprint are kept low.
​
In 2018 Hands Down Baby Prints relocated from Bristol to The Old Stores Studio in Evercreech, ten minutes from Bruton in Somerset. Appointments can be made here or in Bristol & Bath and the surrounding area at various venues on our booking site. Group sessions can also be arranged, in or around Bristol, Bath and Somerset.
​
The focus is all on you and your baby/child and providing you with the best personalised service and product achievable. Imprints take seconds to create and a beautiful relief cast is made from each individual impression. Full 3D casting is also available and mould making is a quick and easy process, taking less than a minute. Your cast is finished, framed and ready to collect around 2-4 weeks later. See the options page for details of all the different types of casts.
​
Pregnancy bump casting is also available in a range of options including detailed 3D casting, simple bump cast bowls with newborn photoshoots.

Finally we are able to make bespoke pieces of solid silver keepsake jewellery from original fingerprints, hand and foot prints and other images. Get in touch to find out more.
